History

An old metal fan used for ginning cotton was taken from M.B. Lowe's Glendora Gin by Roy Bryant and J.W. Milam. After shooting the 14-year-old Emmett Till in the head, the men attached the fan, weighing over 70 pounds, to Till’s mutilated corpse with barbed wire before dumping him adjacent to the Tallahatchie River. The old gin now houses the Emmett Till Historic Intrepid Center.
